...it would be fantastic if you could continue in the exemplary vein of your previous February Update; with a clear breakdown of the project's progress, just adding granularity to it as details coalesce over time. Even when specific dates can't be nailed down, it helps a lot to just have a general overview of how development and fulfilment are progressing.

Did anyone at some point see a clarification for why the storage cases went from an in-line "I" configuration in the campaign's renders to a staggered "A" configuration in the physical production samples?

SUMMARY - Core Rulebook fulfillment is currently targeted for Summer 2026, likely shipping in waves but without additional shipping charges to backers. - Remaining books and the VTT are still in production, with artwork schedules and the ongoing Diamond lawsuit continuing to affect timelines. - A Humble Bundle featuring Green Ronin titles and other publishers is currently available, with proceeds supporting legal costs related to the Diamond case. PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT - The current plan is to print the Core Rulebook and begin fulfillment this summer. - Shipping will likely occur in waves, but backers will not be charged additional shipping. - The first wave is expected to include the Core Rulebook along with Dice and Miniatures. - The Condition Deck, Character Dossier, and Campaign Journal may also be included if they are ready in time. PROJECT STATUS - The Crew Companion manuscript is complete and waiting for layout. - Daemon’s Gambit is preparing to move into the commissioned artwork stage. - Free Navy Conflict should enter the art phase shortly. - VTT work continues with database loading and text porting underway, with no preview milestone yet. ADVENTURE CONTENT - The stretch-goal adventure The Ozymandias Gambit has been written and is moving through layout. - Set on post–Free Navy Conflict Mars, the adventure focuses on locating a missing ship and uncovering the motives behind its disappearance. RISKS & EXTERNAL ISSUES - Production timelines remain sensitive to printer scheduling, tariffs, shipping logistics, and art production timelines. - The Diamond lawsuit continues and requires legal work to ensure consigned inventory is not improperly liquidated. COMMUNITY SUPPORT - A Humble Bundle currently offers a large collection of digital books from multiple publishers, including Green Ronin titles, with proceeds going to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund to help support legal costs.

Fulfillment Update: A Tentative Plan
Hey folks, Your friendly neighborhood Ops Manager here too. I am going to try and fill in a quick sketch of where we are with fulfillment on everything else as best as I can. However, things are subject to change (often abruptly and without warning).
Right this moment, the plan is to move forward with printing the core rulebook and start doing fulfillment this summer. That means that we are going to do shipping in waves, which was something we were really trying to avoid. But be assured we won't charge you for additional shipping under this new plan. There are a few factors that could disrupt our intentions here, not the least of which are our printing partner's schedule, randomly fluctuating tariffs, and the uncertainty of shipping logistics these days, but that's our goal.
Along with the core book, we're planning to send out any Dice and Miniatures that backers have pledged for. It seems likely that the Condition Deck, Character Dossier, and Campaign Journal should be able to go out as part of this wave as well, but as of this writing, I do not have confirmation on that. I'll let you know when I know.
VTT: Nothing really to show off at this time. Databases are being loaded and text is being ported. More on this once we have hit a milestone.
That leaves the other three books, Free Navy Conflict, Daemon's Gambit, and the Crew Companion. Of these the Crew Companion is closest to completion and is just waiting it's turn in the queue for layout (Hal is a busy guy right now). Daemon's Gambit is staged for art to be contracted, and Free Navy is right behind it and should be ready for artists in the next week. Art is often the most time-consuming, and expensive, part of production. This is largely where our best-laid-plans tend to go awry, so getting an accurate timeline for completion on these books is remarkably difficult.
The Diamond lawsuit continues to be a source of frustration that seems never-ending. We have effectively been forced to start over with the trustee appointed by the court, and are once again trying to prove that our inventory was to be sold on consignment, and no they cannot just liquidate it to pay off the creditors. And on that note, Humble Bundle has a massive book bundle with offerings from all the Publishers involved in the lawsuit, with proceeds going to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund to help with our costs. It's mostly some really amazing independent comic books, but our own Fantasy AGE 2nd Edition, Mutants & Masterminds Basic Hero's Handbook, ORK! 2nd Edition, and the 2019 Expanse RPG rulebook are included in the bundle as well. $18 for 60 digital books is a heck of a deal.
You can check out the Humble Bundle offer here.
Thanks so much for your continued patience!

Hi I‘m wondering. Now that you offering dice again. Is there a chance to get a replacement die for a damaged one. I bought some time ago a set of earther dice and one blue die was misshaped. I would even pay for the replacement just don’t want to buy a whole new set to replace one die.
